Last year, The Bridge had a strong start in the ratings but the numbers fell quite a bit over the course of the first season. Will the ratings improve in season two or will they get worse? Will it be renewed for season three or will this FX show be cancelled instead?
The Bridge revolves around the Mexican and American police detectives and their efforts to protect those along the Texas–Chihuahua border. The cast of this crime drama includes Demián Bichir, Diane Kruger, Matthew Lillard, Emily Rios, Ted Levine, and Thomas M. Wright.

What do you think? Do you like The Bridge TV show? Do you think that it should be renewed for a third season?
I LOVE The Bridge! Please renew for Season 3. Awesome show with superb writing, directing, acting, filming. All around the best!
I love “The Bridge”…
Please let us have ‘Season 3’!!!
The Bridge crime drama is well written and very well acted. I am a huge fan and have watched since the beginning. Season 1 was excellent and although Season 2 was good the story was a times a little difficult to follow. Fausto Galvan was an excellent addition and gave the show the intrigue and suspense from season one. I believe Fausto Galvan should be a permanent character. Another aspect that makes the show original is it’s bi-lingual which makes it authentic. I sincerely hope the network keeps the show at least for another Season – I am confident it… Read more »
The Bridge is hands down the best crime drama on television. It’s no wonder it has garnered honors like the Peabody award. The writing, directing and character portrayal is just fabulous…top notch! It’s the one show on television that does not insult my intelligence. Thank you for this outstanding series!
By all means please renew this excellent show!
PLEASE RENEW !!!!!!!! I love The Bridge !!!
By far the best show I have watched in awhile. I make,it a point to devote an hour on Wednesdays to watch. Keep it going!!! I just worry that it’s ratings are being hurt because it is on during the summer.
The Bridge is unusual: the writing has gotten better in Season 2. Please keep this smart, enthralling adult show on the air.
This show caught my attention from the very first previews from season one…it caught my eye IMMEDIATELY!!! This show is Real, Intense and it Grips you!! The Actors are Beyond actors, they are Gods!! When our discussion group starts to watch we all get Sooooo intranced with this show we get so upset that “it’s going by too fast!!” ” too many commercials!” LOL! The Bridge is so Phenomenal with twists and intensity and OMG moments and the Darkness levels it takes you to. WOW!! It’s one if those shows that you wished it would continuously go on as if… Read more »
Thebest show on tv! RENEW IT!
YES, The Bridge should DEFINITELY be renewed for a season 3! It’s the greatest!!! The show is keenly written, with incredible attention to detail; the acting is superb; the characters are fascinating and complex; the storylines have many layers, and are timely and intense; and the El Paso/Juarez backdrop is perfect! I have been an avid fan since day 1, and watch every episode several times, including, three times on the night the show airs! I’m extremely involved in a super Facebook discussion group whose members endlessly dissect each scene, line of dialogue, nuance, and plot twist. I absolutely LOVE… Read more »
Love this show. This season has been outstanding. Never miss the show. Acting is terrific and believeable. Please don’t cancel.
Please renew The Bridge for season 3. My husband and I have watched from the beginning. Great storyline, writing, and acting. FX should promote this show and its cast more.
The Bridge is a show that started off last season as an ok show. This season they’ve refined it a little and I can’t stop watching it. I think with the right tweaks and target audience, this could be a very long running show.
P.S. FX has a winner on its hands with “THE BRIDGE!” It is a great show with great actors and great story lines. PLEASE renew this show. It is a great drama, with something for everyone. Commit to the show and promote it, and you will see the results in the ratings. There are people that don’t even know when it is on!
